[b]Is America ready to elect a gay president?[/b]

I think the kind of people who wouldn't vote for Pete Buttigieg because he's gay, wouldn't vote for him if he was straight either, because they won't ever vote for a Democrat. I also know conservatives who would support a gay Republican candidate, however. So I'm wondering if there are any liberals who would vote for Trump or would sit out the next election if Buttigieg is the Democratic nominee. And I mean, just because he's gay, not because you disagree with his policy positions.

With a majority of evangelical Christians that support conversion therapy? Yeah, I doubt it.

@SW-User Actually, I think many of them don't care as much as you think they do. I know some Evangelicals who voted for Bernie Sanders, for example. If Pete can reach these people with an appeal to their desire to help their fellow man, while overlooking the culture war stuff, he could do very well with this group.

Of course, the noisy ones get all the attention and give the entire group a bad name. But they're not representative of all of them.
